Ridetech/Alston Car way too high?

[John510]

I have a Fab9/Alston 4 link/Ridetech coilovers.

I have the shock mounts on the lowest bolts and I have my coil overs adjusted all the way down and the car still sits about 3" too high? Bolts are not snug so I know its not binding.

Do any of the other brackets on the 4 link adjust height or only pinion angle?

I need this baby lower!

These things will help: windows, insulation, seats, trunk lid, bumpers, stereo, wiring, fuel tank, fuel, let the springs settle a little. When that's not enough there are quite a few threads around here on that very topic.

You still have a bunch of weight to add to your car but read this thread. It is a pretty involved discusson of the Alston 4 link.

It will answer a lot of your G-Link questions.

1) Support car by framerails
2) unbolt rear coilovers
3) raise rear end until you achieve the shock-manufacturer-recommended 13.25"-13.5" eye-to-eye measurement between upper mounting hole and lowest setting of lower hole
4) retake picture

Then we will re-visit this issue.

Yeah, wait till you get the car together. The ride height will settle down as you drive it with all the weight on it. Don't judge it with an empty car.

I was told today that the Hyperco springs do not settle. They are made to stay the way they are for a really long time.

Im just going to see if Ridetech will trade my coil overs for some shorter ones.
